About

Overview

The cran-search project aims to provide a database to perform a package search for the R programming language in the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) repository. The collected data are obtained by the tools::CRAN_package_db() function and selected only a few columns to perform the search for the topic of interest.

In the following table, it is possible to verify a brief structure of the data frame collected with packages available in CRAN. For example, the number of rows and columns, and the frequency of words longer than 3 or 4 characters for the column named title, description, and license. A depth investigation of the data is at the discretion of the reader.
